What’s taking place in the Middle East with Israel’s decimation of Iran is one of the most consequential developments of our time. If Iran had gained nuclear weapons, they certainly would have used them—not only against Israel, but the U.S. too. They are the #1 sponsor of terrorism in the world, and their nuclear terrorist capabilities would have escalated to levels no one wants to contemplate.
I applaud Israel for doing what they had to do to survive an enemy who has vowed for decades to annihilate them from the face of the earth. The whole world is better off for what they have done. They have shown incredible restraint in hitting military, nuclear, and infrastructure sites, even giving warnings to civilians in areas that might be affected. That’s something the Iranians have not done with the missiles they have launched specifically toward civilian population centers.
I’m reminded of Esther and how the Persian king allowed Haman to put out an order that all Jews could be killed and their property taken as spoil. It looked hopeless, but through Esther and Mordecai, the Lord turned that situation around for their good. They took out all their enemies and were exalted, even during their captivity.
That is exactly what’s happening today. It’s a miracle of biblical proportions.
Israel is one of the smallest nations in the region with enemies on every side. The October 7, 2023, attacks were some of the most brutal in history, and Israel has been fighting for their survival with anti-Semitism growing worldwide to levels never seen before. Things seemed as bad as during Esther’s time. But suddenly, everything has changed.
The Jewish festival of Purim celebrates the Lord’s victory through Esther and was commanded to be celebrated forever so the Israelis would never forget God’s protection of His chosen people (Esther 9:24–28). I believe we are seeing the Lord’s intervention just as surely as during Esther’s time.
On November 7, 2024, right after President Trump was elected to his second term, I was praying for him to have wisdom navigating all the world’s problems that he inherited. As I was praying about the Iranian threat, the Lord spoke to me very clearly that there was going to be a regime change in Iran soon. That shocked me, but we can clearly see that it is a very real possibility now.
The majority of Iranian people want it, and I believe even the majority of the surrounding Arab nations want it. They see Iran’s current leadership as a very malignant force impeding their own development. I believe it is going to happen, and soon.
I invite you to join me in celebrating the supernatural intervention of the Lord in sparing the world from a nuclear Iran, and pray with me that Israeli and U.S. leaders will have the wisdom to deal with the fallout. An Iranian regime change could be good or bad. I don’t think it could be worse.
There are 75,000 mosques in Iran, and 50,000 have closed their doors because no one was attending. It has been estimated that Iran is experiencing one of the greatest Christian awakenings in history, with millions turning to the Lord. I have personal knowledge of some who have had visions of Jesus and are now serving Him under the threat of imprisonment or death. God is moving, and this is a kairos moment that will change history.
We pray not only for all that’s taking place in the Middle East, but we have become very divided in our own nation. As President Lincoln quoted Jesus in an 1856 speech, “A house divided cannot stand.” The ensuing Civil War nearly destroyed this nation. We are in a similar time. The division we see today comes from decades of spiritual decline in America, where the ungodly have gained ground and been empowered in their own thinking with rights they created out of thin air. They are not God-given rights, nor are they in the U.S. Constitution.
Surveys now show that for the first time in decades, church attendance is increasing, especially among young males. Bible sales have grown by over 22 percent in the last year. People are turning from the nothingness of a woke culture and looking for meaning to life. Praise the Lord! Now that the pendulum is swinging back toward morality and common sense, they are threatened and fighting with all within them to hold onto their ungodly gains.
It is not our present administration that is causing the division. It’s the lawlessness that was promoted and the ungodly who were enabled that are throwing a fit—like little children—as they are reined in and brought back to the godly principles this nation was founded upon.
As Jesus said in John 3:19–20, And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
That’s the conflict we see today. It’s not liberal versus conservative. It’s light versus dark. It’s good versus evil.
The answer isn’t political. The Lord is using President Trump and many others to right many wrongs—as He did through Esther and Mordecai—but make no mistake, we are in a spiritual battle. The church and the true Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ are the only long-term solutions to the problems we face. This is an hour of great opportunity. We need to stand up and speak out as never before.
I pray you will join me in prayer and action. If the Lord tarries, I believe we are at a turning point in our nation and world. As I’ve spoken out many times, I believe the Lord said we are already in a great awakening. The hour is ours, if we will take it. I believe we will.
Thanks for being a part of the solution.
